well, we have heard from president joe biden read out from his call with prime minister bennett. according to the read out, joe biden congratulated new prime minister of israel, said that he would support that the us support for israel would remain steadfast and said that they would continue to talk about key issues, particularly iran at the u. s. would remain steadfast behind israel security. it's interesting because after joe biden became president, it took about 4 weeks before he and former prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke on the phone for the 1st time. that's about 4 weeks. benjamin netanyahu and biden had a decades long relationship, sometimes very contentious. but you could tell that there was not an immediate embrace of netanyahu by, by it. and when he became president, this is now change because it only took a couple hours after bennett became prime minister for joe biden, and bennett to speak on the phone so that significant in of itself. but beyond that, you really saw the whole of the u. s. government reaching out to their counterparts, we also saw on sunday call

biden, when he became president. this is now change because it only took a couple hours after bennett became prime minister for joe biden. and bennett to speak on the phone so that significant in of itself. so what you're basically seeing here is main figures within the u. s. government, particularly the very top, joe biden, wanting to immediately establish a relationship with the new players there in israel to move things forward. in the world news, the trial of me on march, the opposed leader and france, which is due to begin in the coming hours. she is facing a range of charges and is appearing alongside the countries on the president when men and maybe to form a mare the out on. so she has been under house arrest since the military took over in february. let's speak to tony chang in bangkok, in neighboring thailand. tony's tell us about the charges on the fence which is facing well, the 1st challenge is that were presented to almost immediately after the qu, holding onto illegal telecoms devices, namely walkie talkies and cell phone docking devices. they're apparently in her apartment a since then they've added new

but in the main bennett will not want to pick fights with joe biden. he has way more work to do just keeping his coalition together, governing and staying on top of a very precarious political situation in which netanyahu is now in the opposition and will be scratching tooth and nail to try to take this coalition apart and regain power. >> anne, real quick here, what do you expect neftali bennett's priority to be in the first days of his government? >> passing a budget. israel has been without a budget for two years. that country is paralyzed. they have got to do this. they have had four elections in two years. so the first thing he has to do is show value to the people who helped put this coalition together and pass a budget, do stuff as home before he can do anything else that's of larger international concern. >> mike memoli, anne gearan, i appreciate you guys rolling with me on this live, breaking news. it has been a crazy couple of days as you know. i want to bring in katty kay and david rhode, both msnbc contributors. welcome, guys. we were just

the language sounds remarkably like what we heard from joe biden, and that's coming from naftali bennett. what they've agreed on, there are basic issues not only at stake, but there are things they will agree on. they will pass a budget. it has all sorts of implications on how the defensemen industry can plan. they haven't been able to make appointments, so the whole personnel system has been frozen. they're emphasizing a new infrastructure. indeed part of the new deal includes infrastructure. it's something that has been overdone. what we're seeing is there are issues they'll have to address. they're going to have to find a way to deal with the palestinians. what we saw in the recent conflict is the palestinians can't be ignored, but here again you have a government that has to realize they're going to have to deal with internal stresses, even divisive issues. it may not produce a serious condition but may produce a serious discussion. really if you look at the last several years, there really hasn't been a policy within the netanyahu government. it was, we'll deal with the arabs -- mea

joe biden. there was some pretty major obstacles presented in that relationship by netanyahu on his way out of the door on sunday saying that bennett wouldn't be able to stand up to biden on the issue of iran, really criticizing by an extremely harsh terms in terms of his policy towards the nuclear deal and towards iran. as for bennett, he's got a short term problem to deal with. again, left to him by the prime minister as was up until yesterday. nothing yahoo really reviving the idea of this far right? religious nationalist, march flag waving much through the occupied part of jerusalem occupied east through some potentially getting close to the old city and the muslim quarter. there is a security meeting about that. do to take place and make some kind of conclusion this monday evening. again, if that goes ahead in the way that it's organized is one that could be another major security concern if he prevents it from going ahead. bennett, then he gets attacked from his right again to giving into those security concerns and giving into terrorism is the narrative, has put it so far. so a big problem for him to do with on his 1st eveni

between him and he'd in terms of and if tony bennett, what kind of a relationship is you lucky to have with it? with a biden administration, you think? well, joe biden has been a very storm support of israel throughout his career. he knows all the characters. he had assembled tempestuous relationship with the outgoing prime minister benjamin netanyahu. however, he'd always so unself as a friend of netanyahu, but above all, he sees himself as a friend of israel, something that he says repeatedly, but no damp is going to be sighs of relief from the by that administration, with netanyahu finally going. the reason for this is top of the i did administration agenda is restoring some form of relationship with iran, something that netanyahu was absolutely a bit mentally opposed to. now it's significant to that's the defense minister ben against is on his way to washington. he will be holding a series of meetings in the course of thursday. this was pre scheduled. he will be asking for more money to replace israel petra drone system, but it's also going to be an occasion for members of the bite and administration to speak against directly about israel,

he's setting up the administration of joe biden as a threat by extension to his re security if it goes back with this deal. so it really does make it difficult for bennett on that front to, to, to have more amicable relations with the u. s. on this issue. if he's seen as in any way buckling, then that will be right on him on this, this issue. and so there are many issues like that and he will try to, to pound bennett and the coalition on in his new guys as leader of the opposition. and we shouldn't new side of the fact. this is a major moment in israeli politics. nothing you, i would really kind of set himself up as the exemplar of strong israel, secure israel, the man who could keep it so and now he's gone after 12 years. so. so the whole of generation of people in this country who just got used to him being there at the head of the israeli government, just being in their lives all the time messaging because of course he is such a p all focused prime minister. now he will still be there, he will still be doing plenty of messaging but not as the prime minister of israel anymore. and people will have to wake up to morrow morning, getting used to the idea

i'm jeff bennett coming to you live from tulsa, oklahoma. just a short time from now joe biden will be the first president to lead our nation in reckoning of what happened 100 years ago today right here where we are sitting. the tulsa race massacre had been largely and intentionally erased from the history books until recently, but not by those who survived the two days of unspeakable atrocities and lived to tell the world about the horror. >> that was one of the worst sights that i can ever remember. >> stays on my mind. has been on my mind all of these years. >> it was covered up and we didn't talk about it. >> in the early 1900s, greenwood was known as the black wall street until the evening of may 31st, 1921, when a white mob descended on greenwood shooting black people indiscriminately and burning thousands of homes and businesses along with churches and schools, and when the massacre ended 48 hours later, hundreds of survivors were rounded up at gunpoint and forced to march to camps where they were held for weeks. survivors recounted seeing bodies dumped into the arkansas

bennett is on the story this morning. hi, geoff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president joe biden will touch down in europe later today looking to repair relations with america's closest allies in an effort to counter growing threats from china and russia. it's his first big moment on the world stage since taking office. president biden beginning his first overseas trip this morning, traveling to england ahead of meeting with allies, facing a series of international challenges. ending the global pandemic, addressing disputes over trade, and combatting climate change. >> we need to stand shoulder to shoulder with those allies and partners who share our values. >> reporter: but it's confronting china and russia that will take center stage. president biden's trip punctuated by a face-to-face sit-down with russian president vladimir putin one week from today. first meetings with foreign leaders including boris johnson, who candidate biden in 2019 dismissed as a physical and emotional clone of former president trump. mr. biden aiming to offer a stark contrast to his predecessor, who wa

around the palestinian issue and an american government in joe biden's administration seeking a reentry into the iran nuclear agreement. if bennettof that agreement, netanyahu made a policy that he opposed that diplomacy and likely easier for the biden team on that issue but this is a transitional moment in israel away from a netanyahu dominated era and we have to wait and see what the future looks like, lapid's centralism and bennett's more hard line approach which is a continuation of what we have seen under netanyahu. >> jonathan, is there any reaction from the biden white house yet? and two, it's made clear to me that the president navigated the conflict there with a relationship with netanyahu. any reporting on his relationship with the new leadership team? >> no reaction yet from the white house. officials were pressed repeatedly as to weigh in on the situation and chose to say they'd wait for the results and coming soon as well as we'll soon learn about the relationship that president biden has with his new counter part in israel and beneficial to step back and we saw how the president handled a crisis in israel. the viole

joe biden, really putting very clear water between him and the u. s. president, in a way that he hadn't really done up till now and saying that bennett will simply be someone who will kind of fold against the kind of pressure of resuscitating the iran nuclear deal. so he's laying out various issues and obstacles to this government before it's even started. so he's already acting as what he says. he will be the leader of a strong right wing opposition. even said that there would be celebrations in iran and in the ranks of hezbollah. and hamas welcoming in his government and as you say, he ended that sentence by saying we will be back. harry, what does this mean for netanyahu? no longer being the prime minister in terms of the charges that he's facing, bribery fraud, a breach of trust. well that all continues, and that is one of the reasons that he seemed to be so deliberately trying to prevent this government from functioning because he wants to get back in office. one of the reasons for being back in office logically from, from the youngest point of view, is that it makes it easier, potentially, to fight against those charges encoded. gives them th

i'm jeff bennett coming to you live from tulsa, oklahoma. just a short time from now joe bidentoday right here where we are sitting. the tulsa race massacre had been largely and intentionally erased from the history books until recently, but not by those who survived the two days of unspeakable atrocities and lived to tell the world about the horror. >> that was one of the worst sights that i can ever remember. >> stays on my mind. has been on my mind all of these years. >> it was covered up and we didn't talk about it. >> in the early 1900s, greenwood was known as the black wall street until the evening of may

joe biden. so those are the sort of legs that he's going to to try to paint this new government into a corner, particularly targeting the right wingers like bennett, and doing all he can to bring it down before it's really even got to meet under the table. and it was quite a day of drama, wasn't it a rule? and it it was even when bennett tried to take things off, the procedural way that this happens is that the prime minister designate comes to the podium and says that he is ready to take on that job. and he assigns various positions to various people. makes a speech that was almost impossible for him to do because there was such a volume. vituperative really shouted interruptions coming his way from whose allies within his only could party and other members of his right wing coalition, trying to prevent him from doing so. ben is at one stage, said that the volume of all of this was in direct proportion to the inability of this collection of right wing parties to govern because his argument is so much bound up with netanyahu's own personal interests, his own political fortunes, his own legal fortunes because of the important student, invests the

. >>> president joe biden quickly congratulated israel's new government releasing a statement that reads in part, i look forward to working with prime minister bennettngthen all of the aspects of the close and enduring relationship between our two nations. israel has no better friend than the ides, the bond that unites our people is evidence of our shared values and decades of close cooperation and as we continue to strengthen our partnership, the united states remains unwaivering in its support for israel's security. my administration is fully committed to working with the new israeli government. neftali bennett's office later spoke by phone with biden thanks him for long-standing commitment to israel's security. biden conveyed that the u.s. intends to work closely with the israeli government on prosperity for israelis and palestinians. >>> still ahead here, president biden takes a veiled swipe at the former president donald trump at the g7 summit declaring america is back. we'll have all of the highlights of the trip. before we go to break, we want to know why are you awake? email us your answers at way too early@nbc.com. everyone 12 and older is

bennett has presented his cabinet and sat down for a formal photo with the president. the 8th party coalition agreement, and netanyahu 12 year run as leader. he was president joe biden says, nato is critical to american interest, the head of an annual summit with leaders of the alliance, and says he wants europe to know the u. s. a by side, during talks with nato chief, he installed to bug, he'll so stress the need for a coordinated response against the security challenges posed by russia and china. we have new challenges and we have russia that is not acting in a way that is consistent with what we had hoped and as well as china. and i must say that we had as preliminary this and a number of my colleagues and our colleagues who were in the g 7 have stepped up as well in terms of the need for to be creative creation. and we want to make it clear. nato is critically important for us to interest in and of itself or weren't where we'd have to invest one report. so a puzzle, radiation leak and a nuclear power plant and southern china having dismissed by its operators state, run china, general nuclear power groups, as operations at its nuclear power station. in kwan don'

from barack obama to president joe biden, laying out his differences with them, really sort of throwing a wrench into the relations with the americans. but naftali bennett for his part in his speech said he will work to try to deepen and broaden the relationship in the united states, especially on a bipartisan level with both democrats and republicans, saying that this government will be simply a government that works. and the first order of business for this new coalition government is to simply survive and stay in power. and one of the ways they can do that is pass a budget in the first 150 days as they have promised. israel has not had a budget for the past years because of this political dysfunction, four elections in two years, but now it has come to an end, this coalition government saying they simply want to work, they don't expect to take on big hot button issues, they don't expect to start potentially a new peace process with the palestinians, they're going to work on more interior issues, welfare, economic security, infrastructure, things like that, they say that they simply want to show the israeli public they can have a functioning governmen

joe biden, i will not behave that way. >> reporter: as for how different the relationship already looks between the u.s. and israel, we're seeing it just hours after neftali bennett'st biden, messages, as well, from the secretary of state and defense secretary. then the first phone call between biden and bennett. that coming a short time after the swearing-in. in contrast, it took biden nearly a month to call benjamin netanyahu after he was sworn in. so kate, you're already seeing the differences between the u.s. and israel as well as others. >> absolutely. thank you very much. >>> i want to attorney a cnn exclusive report. cnn is learning that the u.s. government is assessing a possible leak at a chinese nuclear plant. a french company that partly owns the plant and helps operate it is warning now of an imminent radiological threat. cnn's david culver is joining me now. he's live in shanghai with these exclusive details. david, tell us more of your reporting. >> reporter: kate, it's a bit frightening when you hear those words "imminent radiological threat." those words come from a waiver of assistance application that cnn's zachary cohen discovered through sources
